To have a little cry about my dd leaving primary?

[ScarlettDarling]

Well, I've done my last ever school run and pick up. I've sat in my last primary school assembly. Said a very sad goodbye to our fabulous childminder. Can't help but feel a bit sad that this stage in our lives is over. My daughter is a bit emotional about it all too, so infront of her I'm all smiles and positivity, but when she goes to bed tonight I might have a little cry. Anyone else?

The last of my four left primary today. She's selective mute and asd....worried isn't the word. One of mine didn't manage the change and dropped out of seniors three days later. Fortunately the leadership seem to be on the ball and they've put support in place, now it's a nervous wait to see if it will all be okay. Having a glass or two tonight, she sobbed through her leavers assembly and had to be escorted out at the end as she was too emotional to know what to do. 😭

MY DD was at her teeny school for 9 years. They put on a special evening for parents and Leavers and we wept buckets

Year 6 sang 'A Million Dreams' with pictures of them in reception and this year on a slide show. DC didn't cry until I played the video just now.

I felt so bereft when my youngest left the sixth form! I had spent 25 years going back and forth various schools and then that was it!

Thanks Hattie. Yes you're probably right - there'll be more school runs! So lovely to hear everyone's stories about last days at school. Glad it's not just me getting so emotional!

Yanbu at all.

I was a bit misty eyed at it being ds's last day of nursery yesterday and he's not even moving into a different room (nursery and reception share the space in the afternoons) nevermind all the way up to secondary!

Quite sure I shall be among the thoroughly soggy when he leaves primary

Yanbu. There's something really sad about the last day your child's at primary. So many goodbyes to friends and teachers for the children and the parents.

The last assembly always had me snivelling.

My daughter has just finished year 5. It's all going so fast. She is so happy at primary and safe. No idea yet where she will go to secondary and unlikely to go with any friends as at a very small school and a lot will go to private school.

I will be very upset when she leaves primary and her little brother is devastated at the thought of her going. Bless him.

Maybe I'm strange but I enjoy the school run, the assemblies, plays, etc.

I think it's sad for so many reasons. Partly because you know they are going to grow up and lose their naivety and their innocence and realise some awful things about life. :(

I fully intend to cry my eyes out.

This thread has made me sob!

I'm feeling a bit emotional because DS is about to leave nursery to go to PS. I will miss nursery and the staff there. It has been a constant in our life for 4 years now. PS is unknown territory!

DD finished year 6 today too, the playground was full of tears at pick up time.
I was ok till all the teachers started clapping as they came out of the doors and I started sobbing
She’s made some lovely friends, most of them are going to the same high school but a couple aren’t, so they were all saying goodbye.
DD is my eldest and I still have another 4 years of primary left.

DS2 left his infant school today. It's been a lovely 3 years really and I've been quite emotional about it. I suppose juniors is still quite little but still, he's growing up so fast.

So far this week I've seen my eldest graduate from her PGCE and my youngest leave primary school today. I'm an emotional wreck
